Verona Ontario Kiosk Project

Located in the center of Verona on the corner of Main and Water Streets
on a section of Revell Motors parking lot.

The Verona kiosk was a Millennium Project under the energetic and
enthusiastic leadership of John McDougall. It was funded from grants
through the Main Street Millennium Fund, South Frontenac Township, the
Verona Community Association with the support of the Government of Ontario,
through Ontario 2000 and the Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation
along with generous donations of time and materials from local volunteers
and professionals.

The project, designed to reflect the traditional styles of our agricultural
and railroad heritage, was completed over several weeks by different
groups of volunteer labourers with support from businesses.

Jason Gibson, of Gibson
Timber Frames donated his time to
teach and supervise the volunteer builders.

Stop by the kiosk to see if you can identify the six types of local
wood that make up the structure - red and white cedar, white oak,
white pine, spruce, and hemlock. Most of the timber was donated by Doug
& Deborah Lovegrove and Inie & Peter Platenius.
